On the home screen, let's create a new project.
00:06
So we'll go ahead and select new project.
00:09
And in the new project dialog box,
00:11
we'll just ensure that we're using our structural analysis, default template file
00:15
and then we'll go ahead and select. OK.
00:20
So the new project has now been created and of course,
00:23
this will default to the level two plan.
00:25
So when we modern our walls, we'll model them from level two down to level one
00:31
to model the wall. Let's go ahead and select the structure ribbon
00:34
and on the structure ribbon, we'll select wall
00:39
in the properties pallet in the type selector.
00:42
We're going to ensure that we're using generic 12 inch.
00:46
We will rename this style a bit later on
00:49
on the context driven. I'd like to use rectangle to construct my walls.
00:54
And I just want to make sure that the walls are
00:56
going to be modeled down to a depth of level one.
00:59
And I'm currently using the wall centerline.
01:03
So I'm just going to draw a rectangle at an
01:05
arbitrary size and this will obviously construct my walls like so
01:10
now that we've got those walls modeled, we can go up and select,
01:12
modify to release the wall command.
01:16
We're now gonna view these walls in 3D.
01:19
We'll first have to generate a new 3D view
01:21
to do this. Let's go up to the quick access toolbar and select default 3D view
01:28
by default.
01:29
You'll notice here that the analytical model is also displayed just for clarity.
01:33
We're gonna come down to the view control toolbar
01:36
and we'll hide the analytical model
01:38
and also on the view control toolbar, we'll use realistic to shade our walls.
01:44
So let's now edit this wall type and then we'll incorporate our Sham
01:47
for profile that we created in part one of this video.
01:51
So we'll go ahead and select one of the walls. It doesn't matter which one we select
01:56
in the properties, pad it in the type selector. We'll go ahead and select edit type.
02:02
The first thing I'd like to do here is amend the generic name.
02:06
So I'm going to select the rename option here
02:10
and here we'll type in RC wall
02:14
with Sham
02:18
and we'll go ahead and select OK,
02:21
to physically edit the structure of the wall, we'll select this edit button here.
02:26
Now, by default, you'll see the edit assembly dialog box open
02:30
and here, of course, you can see that we have a wall that's 12 inches thick.
02:33
What I want to do is use a reveal tool to cut
02:37
a champ for profile on the outside and inside face of the wall.
02:42
If we take a look at these six buttons down the bottom here.
02:45
You'll notice that we can't modify the vertical structure.
02:49
The reason why these are grayed out is we need to
02:51
change our preview from a plan view to a vertical preview
02:56
to do this. We'll of course, need to enable the preview.
02:59
So we'll select this preview button here.
03:02
And of course, at the minute, we're looking at a preview in a plain view,
03:06
But here we can switch this from floor plan to section.
03:11
And now that the section view is active,
03:13
you'll now notice that these six buttons are available down the bottom.
03:17
We're going to zoom in to the top of the
03:19
wall because this is where we'll be adding our champ.
03:22
And of course, here we have sweeps and reveals,
03:26
sweeps will add material to our wall and a reveal will cut material away.
03:31
So of course, here with our champ, we want to cut material.
03:35
So let's go ahead and select reveals.
03:38
The first thing we'll do in our reveals dialog box is load our sham for profile.
03:42
So we'll select load profile.
03:45
And in the low family dialog box, locate your sham
03:48
for underscore profile R fa
03:50
and select open.
03:53
We now need to add this into the reveals dialogue, so we can select to add
03:58
and you'll now notice that we have a row that's been created.
04:02
So the first thing we can do here is set our profile.
04:05
Now you may remember in part one of the video,
04:07
we created three different family types for our sham.
04:11
In this example, here, we're going to use the two inch Shan.
04:16
You'll notice at the minute that the shampoo is connected to the base of the wall.
04:19
So I'm gonna change this to top
04:22
to actually get a preview.
04:24
If we select the apply button here, you can then see that that's applied in
04:28
and we can now clearly see our sham
04:30
for profile.
04:31
Of course,
04:32
we need to have another row added in to create a shamp
04:35
for profile on the right hand side of the wall as well.
04:38
So we can repeat this by selecting
04:40
a
04:41
once again, we'll select our two inch champ for profile
04:46
in the front column. We'll change this from base to top
04:50
and of course, the side now is going to be interior,
04:54
we can then click apply
04:56
and we can now clearly see those two profiles being displayed
05:01
as we select each row.
05:03
You'll notice that rev it then highlights
05:04
that particular profile in the preview window.
05:09
So that's looking good. We'll select OK to the reveals dialog box
05:13
and OK. Again to the edit assembly dialogue,
05:17
we can also click OK to the type properties dialog box.
05:21
And now if we zoom in, we can now see that our champs
05:24
have been added to this war type
00:03
On the home screen, let's create a new project.
00:06
So we'll go ahead and select new project.
00:09
And in the new project dialog box,
00:11
we'll just ensure that we're using our structural analysis, default template file
00:15
